This is what all our *currently* elected officials should be doing, and not nearly enough are.

We need people who are willing to stand up against fascism, not weak-willed appeasers. Good on you, @katmabu.bsky.social
moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

It’s 2 am and we’re still marking up massive cuts to Medicaid.

While their constituents are asleep, Republicans are trying to take away health care from 13.7 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

They want you to tune out. Don’t ⬇️

Watch this entire Maddow segment. We need a thorough investigation of this and the perpetrators behind bars.

Kudos to this whistleblower for his courage.

I went all the way to the Alberta legislature to give a gift to Premier Danielle Smith.
But she wasn't there.
She was hanging out at a closed door Conservative MAGA meeting with the Trump crew that have targeted our nation's economy.
A quisling is going to quisling.
I'll see you next time Danielle.

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

"[T]he entire system felt rigged, designed to make it nearly impossible for anyone to get out.

The reality became clear: Ice detention isn’t just a bureaucratic nightmare. It’s a business. These facilities are privately owned and run for profit."

This story is beyond insane ...
I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Against tariffs and a shifting global economy, Canada is working with reliable allies to build lasting and resilient ties.

Seems like something an opposition party would point out.

If only we had one.
Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.
Exclusive: NIH officials have advised scientists to remove reference to mRNA vaccines from their grant applications, in expectation the Trump administration intends to abandon most research in the field.

Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w...

I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.

Trudeau has already resigned and won't be the PM 4 days from now.

Elections have to be called/set by the new Liberal leader or they take place in October.

No one in the room could tell Trump that? Or is he trying to claim a win when Trudeau is gone shortly?
Trump post on negotiations with Trudeau doesn’t make it seem like there’s progress towards ending the tariffs

So much of the US coverage of the German elections is cast in a "sky is falling" AfD rising apocalypse frame. I get it. The AfD is going to 2x its vote and get around 20%. But another way to look at this is that the AfD blew it. The conditions couldn't be better for the AfD to surge and yet. 1/ 🧵

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.

I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.
No offense, Mark, but you have influence and power most of us don’t. Why don’t you speak up to those in DC you have connections with? Actions speak louder than words as you well know.
